Bjärred is a locality ( tätort ) in the Swedish province County Skåne and the historical province Scania .
etymology
The name of the place in the municipality of Lomma is first recorded in writing as Bjered in 1813 . Today's local name consists of the particular Skåne form bjär (German: Berg) and refers to a hill in the southern part of the town (Gamla Bjärred).
history
The settlement was established at the end of the 19th century as a bathing resort for Lund . There used to be larger apple orchards in the village, but today this area is built on. In 1899 the construction of an eleven-kilometer-long railway line to Lund began. The line was supposed to be electrified right from the start, but since the new technology was not very familiar, the decision was made to use a traditional construction. After opening on June 27, 1901, until electrification in 1916, the railway operated with steam locomotives . As it turned out that the line was not profitable, the line was shut down in 1939 and the track dismantled a year later. Today only the former station building still exists, which now houses a café and a youth center.
